Abstract

A simple method for preparing LiCaAlF~6~:Eu^2+^ phosphor is reported. Photoluminescence (PL) and thermoluminescence (TL) studies were carried out. The TL sensitivity of the phosphor is nearly twice that of CaSO~4~:Dy TLD phosphor. Several other properties required for TL dosimetry are superior as well. It is suggested that the phosphor can be a suitable replacement for CaSO~4~:Dy. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
